It is important to make a list of priorities for your Pool and Outdoor Living Project. A few things that should be on that list are as follows:
Quality, Design, Price, Timing and etc. Note that Price was one of the priorities on the list, but not the top priority. Of course, price is important. I have never worked with a client that didn’t have a budget at some point, however, I think that price has no place on the top of the list. If so, you are already done reading this and I have lost you!
You have to admit Quality, Dependability, Reputation, Design and Service have their place too. All these elements must be in balance to achieve the ideal backyard project.
Remember a Good Deal is a State of Mind!
That means getting all of your priorities met at a level that you are comfortable with long term. Keep in mind buying and installing a pool is not like buying a car. You don’t get to see it, test it or trade it in if you don’t like it! Its permanent and the only two ways to get rid of it that I am aware of are to tear it out or sell the house and try again. Who wants to deal with that? I recommend getting a maximum of 3 bids from licensed, reputable pool builders. Take the time to check them out! Do your homework. Make an appointment to see pools they have built and sites that are under construction. Talk to some of their clients past and present {not hand picked}. Share your priorities and concerns openly with the pool company representative. Test their knowledge and confidence. Study the process and be educated! They should be able to take your ideas and expound on them. They should also be able to bring good sensible ideas to you that maybe you had not considered. Your comfort level with your potential pool builder should be stress free and positive. Any lack in communication and attention to your needs are probably a sign of things to come. Go with your gut instinct! Any investment in your property is worth the time and trouble to go through the proper procedures of selecting a contractor and design that you can enjoy for years to come. The construction process should be relatively easy and pain free. I can assure you I have heard countless horror stories of good deals gone bad. Don’t be a future unhappy customer as a result of trying to save a few bucks now.
Invest wisely and consider the big picture. For example – what is the difference overall in the cost for the entire scope of the project. I would bet its less than 5% in most cases. Simply not worth the risk. Study our website. There are many pages and segments designed to educate you and help you make a good quality decision on who is best for your Pool Project.
